Hey yall. Been lurking for over a year but decided to make an account to ask something.
I'd like to get a Glock 19 for concealed carry, transitioning from a full size 1911. I love the size, weight, and especially simplicity of the Glock. Feels great in my hand. Anyway, I've read and watched about how the Glock 9mm's are specifically prone to "limp-wrist" malfunctions because of how light it is (I know all pistols can limp wrist, but the Glock is very light). As in, if you're not holding it right, it'll short stroke. I've shot semi-automatics for years, so under normal operations this wouldn't be a concern for me. I know for most experienced shooters it's probably very hard to get it to jam that way. Shooting a friend's Glock 21 I was able to get it to do it, trying very hard to see it for myself, by holding the gun very loosely, and even then it wouldn't do it but once or twice a magazine.
But...
Is this acceptable for a CCW? What if I'm injured, pushed on the ground, don't get a good grip on the draw?
Please help alleviate these concerns so I can get this otherwise wonderful pistol without doubts
